AMC is saying its prayers in hopes that another comic-turned-TV series strikes the same gold as its wildly popular "The Walking Dead" franchise.

The network announced this afternoon an agreement to develop warped '90s comic "Preacher" as a dramatic series.

Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, who penned the comedies "Superbad" and "This is the End," will write the new series and "Breaking Bad" producer Sam Catlin will act as showrunner, the network said.

Created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, the "Preacher" comic book series published from 1995-2000 under Vertigo and follows a Rev. Jesse Custer, a Texas clergyman who, after losing his faith learns God has left Heaven. In his (literal) search for God, Custer is joined by a former girlfriend and a genial vampire who sounds like a bit of a lush, according to AMC.

Following Custer is the villain Saint of Killers, a "western lone gunman archetype" on the hunt for Jesse's blood.

"Steve Dillon and I are very happy to see Preacher being developed for TV, which seems a much more natural home for the story than a 2-hour movie," Ennis said in a release. " I'm particularly impressed that Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin understand Preacher fully — meaning they get it for what it is, not some vague approximation."

Whether the comedy duo fully understand the twisted comic remains to be seen, but AMC should light a candle in hopes that their latest development gains steam.
